I have a personal "knowledge base" that is publicly available at https://maxmasnick.com/kb/ . This is partially inspired by Chris Albon's excellent data science technical notes: http://chrisalbon.com . I find it very helpful to have this kind of information on a public website. It's easy to search myself, quick to edit[^1], and helpful for sharing with others when someone asks me a question. For notes I don't want to…
“ I use the GitHub Actions beta to automatically update the public site every time I commit to master.” How do you set that up?
I rely heavily on https://workflowy.com/ Here is a quick interactive demo: https://workflowy.com/list-maker/ But I'm not sure how well that works with 50 people. You should probably mention what kind of knowledge you want to share and what features you might need.
Second workflowy. There are other zoomable nested lists (e.g., dynalist), but they're too slow. Workflowy forces minimalism, which ensures your data is portable and that the handling of it is fast. Adding colored tags[2] and the Workflowy Code Formatter extension[1] makes it really great. [1] https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/workflowy-code-for...

I've tried using these tools in a work environment but my colleagues have never really loved it, so it's more of a personal tool. We just use Google Docs in my current work environment.
I work in a team closely related to another team, and together we're about 30 people in the midst of THOUSANDS of engineers responsible for shipping product. We are dying under the burden of tracking and correlating engineering decisions across product lines and customers through presentations (you can't have a meeting without PowerPoint!) and spreadsheets -- scattered all over internal shared drives -- email, and Sk…
These days most of what I write is online, too, although I have bunches of OneNote shared notebooks and other accoutrements that come with working at a large corporation (Microsoft in this case).
In previous jobs we used Wikis (Trac, PhpWiki, GitLab, etc.), mailing-lists, the works.
I would suggest picking something with proper versioning and access control regardless - OneNote has the additional benefit of having decent (if slowish) mobile clients that let you take some of the info with you offline on trips, but that’s likely not a priority given the scenario you outline.
I just started my own Gitbook wiki https://wiki.emadkhan.net/ and whenever I synthesize all this raw data with some insights I want to share, I'll blog about it at http://www.emadkhan.net/

How do you backup OneNote? The link to where you explain it is broken: http://protips.maxmasnick.com/backing-up-onenote-notebooks You mentioned it as being a critical feature but from what I've been reading, it's pretty complex and tricky due to it's weird syncing rules and relationship with OneDrive. The only decent solution requires a Windows version. See: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/good…
The simple answer is you can download zips of the entire OneNote notebook from the OneDrive web interface.

Good to see a UMB alum here. Who uses Tachyons no less! Thanks for the tips.
What makes the above work is a simple protocol: if someone teaches you how to do something, you're responsible for writing that something down. It's a simple honor system, but people tend to stick to it, and the result is an ever growing, live body of knowledge.
Life: Bullet Journal is pure magic, when I manage to stick to it :/
